Probate Judges and County Clerks
have been officially notified lby the Com
missioners of Pensions that the law re-
quiring pension claimants to present
their certificate when appearing before
them for affidavits for vouchers smust
be rigidly enforced. Soldiers drawing
pensions should remember this and act
accordingly.
There appears to be considerable feeling in
Maumee school circles, regarding the failure
OF the Board of Education to retain Supt. n. B.
Pinkerton, who it is claimed during the past
| four years has brought the school, grounds and
everything connected Herewith, up to grade
such as no teacher heretofore had succeeded in
doing. Mr. T.. has been given the superintend.
ency of the Waterville Schools, and lady
teacher takes this position in Maumee.
We give space in another column for
an article from Mr.. N. l.. Hanson, which
gives vast amount of practical infor-
nation from a scientific and practical
standpoint in regard to natural gas and
oil, where to find it, etc., such as we
have not seen from any other source.
We have no criticisms or comments up
on the action of a private company in
selecting location and expending their
money in test wells. 1t is their own
money and their own affair as to where
1t shall be expended. 1t was only when
we saw the public money being lavishly
squandered in au apparently fruitless
search that we felt called upon to criti.
else the action in behalf of the COM
munity at large, in whose interest pa.
per or any individual citizen is remiss in
duty on failure 10 speak. Make a study
OF the facts and profit thereby.
Mr.. George Hillabrand has shown
signs of insanity for some months past
aud of late these have become so marked
that it was thought best to take him to
the Asylum at Columbus for treatment.
The necessary papers were secured from
the Probate Judge last week, ana or
Thursday his brother Fred and Mr.
James Cook, accompanied him to the
asylum, with the understanding he
was g. g down to secure an agency fol
a Buggy Co. The Superintendent of the
asylum criticised The methods of decep.
tion to get him to Columbus, and said
they should have told him just what he
was to go there for He told George that
he was insane and was brought there fol-
treatment "Who said l was insane ~
asked George. 1.-The Probate Judge o.
your county," replied the Superintend
cnt. Hes a d-d fool" said George
but he accepted the situation gracefully
